Vocabulary  Reference Link  Description  Data Domains 
SKS https://medinfo.dk/sks/   observation, procedure, condition_occurrence
ATC https://www.whocc.no/atc/structure_and_principles/ drug_exposure
NPU https://npu-terminology.org/ The source data use NPU codes for biochemical analyses of biological samples (blood, plasma, urin, spinal fluid, etc.). Patient-level NPU data will, in the end, not be available for this pilot project, but we will undertake semantic mapping of the 200 most common NPU codes so these are ready for structural mapping once possible. measurement
